HARTLEY THE HERO SENDS BARNETBY UNITED THROUGH TO SEMIS


PICTURES AND REPORT FROM LEE FIELDEN, BARNETBY UNITED FC


Despite not picking up a league point this season the 1st team are through to the semi-final of the Nursing Cup after their second hard-fought 1-0 win in the competition.
AFC Queensway, unbeaten in the 2nd division, pushed Barnetby all the way in a very tight contest.
0-0 at the interval, the breakthrough came midway through the 2nd half when a ball from Joe Scott found its way to Will Hartley, whose fierce half volley was only parried by the Queensway keeper who had to watch as the ball agonisingly rolled into the net.

This was Will's 154th goal for the Railwaymen.
It was still a tight affair, Hartley had a second disallowed and Queensway headed over when it was easier to score but Barnetby hung on to reach the semi final.
They will face the winner of the Sherpa v Limestone Rangers Reserves game at home on February 17th.
The other semi-final sees Scunthonians versus Epworth Colts Blues.
Scunthonians beat a depleted Barnetby Reserves 11-0 as players simply failed to turn up and Epworth beat New Holland 3-1.
